What a horrible clickbait title.

They're digging a 64km long tunnel through the Alps - so technically it does enable a connection of Scandinavia to the Mediterranean. But it's not a tunnel from Scandinavia all the way to the Mediterranean like the title implies.

You could also say it connects Latvia to South Africa ...

B1M is really bad, I'd advise people to stop watching their channel, there are better ones out there.

How can it be that they don't mention "Brenner Base Tunnel" anywhere in the description? It must be on purpose. Are they somehow gaming the YouTube algorithm such that it won't be able to categorize it in any specific bucket?

What are the better ones out there? I love this kind of content but don't know where to find it.

"Practical Engineering" and "Real Engineering". Actual engineers who describe compromises and shortfalls of various topics. B1M is a very weird channel that just seems to regurgitate whatever sugar-coated press releases the mega contractors running these projects shove out the door to justify their massively inflated budgets

I feel similarly about Asianometry. Nice title, cute video style but something is missing.

I really like Asianometrys videos. But I usually don't pay much attention to the titles

Next up, connecting Paris with Bangkok: the Bosphorus Bridge!

The question for us then is how did the piece ever get 47 (and counting) upvotes from HN readers?
